wheel hp & tq? stock motor?

i know its low, im f*cking pissed but parents said if i blow another motor, i have to sell my Z. the dude from condon that sold us the motor said i have to run 3 - 4 psi safely (which i believe is bull****). i want to at least push 5.5. but then again im always scared of losing my car..

I'm a Vortech, so my numbers don't matter. Go through that list. The install and TUNE seem to be the deciding factor for TNSTs at 8+psi
Honestly, if you fear losing your car, I would just remove the damn thing. Most of us fear blowing motors, not having our cars taken away.

I have one MAP at 4.5 around 305whp and around 280TQ on a Single Turbo (STS)

Edit: Only mod I have is MREV+, the rest is stock...

Run 8psi, have the kit installed and tuned by a knowledgeable shop that deals with Z's and G's regularly and you will be fine.

If you're beating them at 4psi, you are doing well.

+1 When I had my clutch replaced that was the hardest 400 miles in my life.... There was one instance at around 300miles through my break-in and 2 STI tried to fool around with me thinking I'm NA...Guess what happen, Forget the break-in and I switch to my 8lbs and just live at the moment

with map selector, if you switch over to a diff map, does it go in affect instantaneously or do you have to shut the car off

With Utec you can switch Map but only if you're RPM is below 1600 or something.

You're in Vegas right? Take it to LA and talk to Sam@GTM. It's not going to be cheap, but it'll be safe at whatever level he has it leave the shop at. I don't think I've heard of one of his cars/engines blowing up yet (aside from George, but his was a push the limits and track the hell out of it... test case )
